Over 100,000 Signatures on U.K. Petition to Arrest Netanyahu in London
By wmw_adminonSeptember 6, 2015
Haaretz — Sept 6, 2015
A petition calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits the United Kingdom later this week has gained more than 100,000 signatures, meaning it will technically be considered for debate in the U.K. parliament, the Albawaba News website reported.
The petition, which appears on the official government website, reads: “Benjamin Netanyahu is to hold talks in London this September. Under international law he should be arrested for war crimes upon arrival in the U.K for the massacre of over 2000 civilians in 2014.”
According to U.K. law, petitions achieving more than 100,000 signatures are considered for debate by parliament. It is not clear, however, if and when a debate will be held.
Responding to the petition – also a requirement when the 100,000 signature mark is reached – the U.K. government said that Netanyahu, as a visiting head of state, is “entitled to immunity, which includes inviolability and complete immunity from criminal jurisdiction.”
The government “recognize[s] that the conflict in Gaza last year took a terrible toll,” the response continued, but it noted that Israel has the “right to take proportionate action to defend itself, within the boundaries of international humanitarian law.”
It went on to condemn Hamas for its “terrorist tactics,” and reiterated that the U.K.’s “priority for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains the achievement of a two-state solution, based on 1967 borders.”
“We continue to believe that negotiations will be necessary in order to achieve this, and that both parties need to focus on steps that are conducive to peace,” the response said. “The U.K. government will reinforce this message to Mr. Netanyahu during his visit.”

OLAADEGBU:
Good observation.

You need to understand that all religions have weaknesses that are easily exploited by the ruling elites (call them the illuminati if you like). The US and EU are taking advantage of the Shia-Sunni division to destabilize the ME and with active connivance of Israel( cos having weak, fragmented nation states, all around cements her position as an hegemon).

Oduduwaboy:
So its all about the U.S & Western Europe now? How about Russia the chief destabilizer? Why are the muslims in Iran, Iraq & Afghanistan not heading towards Russia and China?

Last time I checked both countries never bombed any ME country but your beloved US and Eu started the madness. Libya is close to the EU by sea. It is natural that people fleeing the terror created by the US and EU head towards that direction. A stable Libya under Ghaddafi provided security,food,education and shelter for Libyans and migrant Africans. What did the West do? They had him killed and now Libya has remained unstable.
How about Saddam and the atrocities against the people of Iraq.
For your information China has a non intervention policy and would rather engage in trade and human capacity building. Look at this

Kindly provide us a link to the story.

Check out this amazing video of a Shaolin monk walking on water for 125 meters, using 200 floating plywood planks.
Shi Liliang is from the Quanzhou Shaolin Temple, and it took him three attempts to break his previous record of 120 meters, set in January.
Last October, he set a record of 118 meters.

"You need to be fast but you should take only small steps,"Shi told reporters back then.
The stunning stunt requires perfect balance and huge speed to carry out, and the monk has been practising it since 2005.
The Shaolin Monastery is well known for its kung fu monks that undergo rigorous training to conduct impressive acrobatic and physical feats.

True. Abeg na who dey that picture?

Background & Membership:The UK’s Chatham House, like the CFR and the Brookings Institute in America, has an extensive membership and is involved in coordinated planning, perception management, and the execution of its corporate membership’s collective agenda.
Individual members populating its “ senior panel of advisers” consist of the founders, CEOs, and chairmen of the Chatham House’s corporate membership. Chatham’s “ experts” are generally plucked from the world of academia and their “recent publications” are generally used internally as well as published throughout Chatham’s extensive list of member media corporations, as well as industry journals and medical journals. That Chatham House “experts” are submitting entries to medical journals is particularly alarming considering GlaxoSmithKline and Merck are both Chatham House corporate members.
No better example of this incredible conflict of interest can be given than the current Thai “red” color revolution being led by Chatham House’s Amsterdam & Peroff with consistent support lent by other corporate members including the Economist, the Telegraph and the BBC.
In one case, the Telegraph printed, “ Thai protests – analysis by Dr Gareth Price and Rosheen Kabraji,” within which Price and Kabraji make a shameless attempt at defending the Western-backed, Maoist themed, violent protests. While the Telegraph mentioned that Price and Kabraji were both analysts for the Chatham House, they failed to tell readers that the Telegraph itself retains a corporate membership within the Chatham House as does the Thai protest leader’s lobbyist, Robert Amsterdamand his Amsterdam & Peroff lobbying firm.

Conclusion
These organizations represent the collective interests of the largest corporations on earth. They not only retain armies of policy wonks and researchers to articulate their agenda and form a consensus internally, but also use their massive accumulation of unwarranted influence in media, industry, and finance to manufacture a self-serving consensus internationally.
To believe that this corporate-financier oligarchy would subject their agenda and fate to the whims of the voting masses is naive at best. They have painstakingly ensured that no matter who gets into office, in whatever country, the guns, the oil, the wealth and the power keep flowing perpetually into their own hands. Nothing vindicates this poorly hidden reality better than a “liberal” Nobel Peace Prize wearing president, dutifully towing forward a myriad of “Neo-Con” wars, while starting yet another war in Libya.
Likewise, no matter how bloody your revolution is, if the above equation remains unchanged, and the corporate bottom lines left unscathed, nothing but the most superficial changes will have been made, and as is the case in Egypt with International Crisis Group stooge Mohamed ElBaradei worming his way into power, things may become substantially worse.
The real revolution will commence when we identify the above equation as the true brokers of power and when we begin systematically removing our dependence on them, and their influence on us from our daily lives. The global corporate-financier oligarchy needs us, we do not need them, independence from them is the key to our freedom.

Naming Names: Your Real Government
by Tony Cartalucci
This is yourrealgovernment: they transcend elected administrations, they permeate every political party, and they are responsible for nearly every aspect of the average American and European’s way of life. When the “left” is carrying the torch for two “Neo-Con” wars, starting yet another based on the same lies, peddled by the same media outlets that told of Iraqi WMD’s, the world has no choice, beyond profound cognitive dissonance, but to realize something is wrong.
What’s wrong is a system completely controlled by a corporate-financier oligarchy with financial, media, and industrial empires that span the globe. If we do not change the fact that we are helplessly dependent on these corporations that regulate every aspect of our nation politically, and every aspect of our lives personally, nothing else will ever change.
The following list, however extensive, is by far not all-inclusive. However after these examples, a pattern should become self-evident with the same names and corporations being listed again and again. It should be self-evident to readers of how dangerously pervasive these corporations have become in our daily lives. Finally, it should be self-evident as to how necessary it is to excise these corporations from our lives, our communities, and ultimately our nations, with the utmost expediency.
International Crisis Group
www.crisisgroup.org
reality is that they are committed to offering solutions crafted well in advance to problems they themselves have created in order to perpetuate their own corporate agenda.
Nowhere can this be better illustrated than in Thailand and more recently in Egypt. ICG member Kenneth Adelmanhad been backing Thailand’s Prime Minster Thaksin Shinwatra, a former Carlyle Group adviser who was was literally standing in front of the CFRin NYC on the eve of his ousting from power in a 2006 military coup. Since 2006, Thaksin’s meddling in Thailand has been propped up by fellow Carlyle man James Baker and his Baker Botts law firm, Belfer Centeradviser Robert Blackwillof Barbour Griffith & Rogers, and now Robert Amsterdam’s Amsterdam & Peroff,a major corporate memberof the globalist Chatham House.
With Thailand now mired in political turmoil led by Thaksin Shinwatra and his “red shirt” color revolution, the ICG is ready with “solutions” in hand. These solutionsgenerally involve tying the Thai government’s hands with arguments that stopping Thaksin’s subversive activities amounts to human rights abuses, in hopes of allowing the globalist- backed revolutionto swell beyond control.
The unrest in Egypt, of course, was led entirely by ICG member Mohamed ElBaradeiand his US State Departmentrecruited, funded, and supported April 6 Youth Movement coordinated by Google’s Wael Ghonim. While the unrest was portrayed as being spontaneous, fueled by the earlier Tunisian uprising, ICG’s ElBaradei, Ghonim, and their youth movement had been in Egypt since 2010 assembling their “ National Front for Change” and laying the groundwork for the January 25th 2011 uprising.
ICG’s George Soros would then go on to fund Egyptian NGOsworking to rewrite the Egyptian constitution after front-man ElBaradei succeeded in removing Hosni Mubarak. This Soros-funded constitution and the resulting servile stooge government it would create represents the ICG “resolving” the crisis their own ElBaradei helped create.

Background:Within the library of the Brookings Institute you will find the blueprints for nearly every conflict the West has been involved with in recent memory. What’s more is that while the public seems to think these crises spring up like wildfires, those following the Brookings’ corporate funded studies and publications see these crises coming years in advance. These are premeditated, meticulously planned conflicts that are triggered to usher in premeditated, meticulously planned solutions to advance Brookings’ corporate supporters, who are numerous.
The ongoing operations against Iran, including US-backed color revolutions, US-trained and backed terrorists inside Iran, and crippling sanctions were all spelled out in excruciating detail in the Brookings Institute report, “ Which Path to Persia?” The more recent UN Security Council resolution 1973 regarding Libya uncannily resembles Kenneth Pollack’s March 9, 2011 Brookings report titled “ The Real Military Options in Libya.”

www.cfr.org
Background & Notable Membership:A better question would be, who isn’t in the Council on Foreign Relations? Nearly every self-serving career politician, their advisers, and those populating the boards of the Fortune 500 are CFR members. Many of the books, magazine articles, and newspaper columns we read are written by CFR members, along with reports, similar to Brookings Institute that dictate, verbatim, the legislation that ends up before the West’s lawmakers.
A good sampling of the most active wings of the CFR can be illustrated best in last year’s “ Ground Zero Mosque” hoax, where CFR members from both America’s political right and left feigned a heated debate over New York City’s so-called Cordoba House near the 3 felled World Trade Center buildings. In reality, the Cordoba House was established by fellow CFR member Feisal Abdul Rauf, who in turn was funded by CFR financing arms including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, chaired by 9/11 Commission head Thomas Kean, and various Rockefeller foundations.

Who are the Evildoers? — List of names
By Lasha DarkmoononSeptember 5, 2015
Tony Cartalucci — Darkmoon.me Sept 5, 2015
Introduction by Lasha Darkmoon
Are thesereallythe most powerful people in the world? Or is there a shadowy group behind them, pulling their strings and exerting hidden pressures? According to Forbes magazine, 25-year-old singer Taylor Swiftis the 64th most powerful person on the planet, not far behind the Queen of England. This is just not believable. So the question we need to ask ourselves is: Who are the puppet masters and who are the puppets?
Having read through this disturbing article, my mind is filled with foreboding. I begin to suspect that we were on the edge of an abyss. That there is little we can do reverse the Gadarene rush to the grim dystopia that our elite ruling classes appear to be preparing for us.
Like grunting swine, we are being led to the slaughterhouse.
Here is my advice to all like-minded readers, to that small minority of political dissidents and deracinated Outsiders who know we are being ruled by a hostile elite. They care little for us—these People Farmers who regard the masses with contempt, and to whom we are no more than livestock.
Realize that you are here to be exploited. Know that life was far better for most people growing up in the 1960s and 1970s than it is today. Life has becoming progressively worse, with the divide between rich and poor growing more unacceptable by the day. This didn’t happen by chance. It happened by design, because predators rule and we are their prey.
An attempt by maverick British politician Jeremy Corbynto reverse this obscene trend has, as you might expect, met with visceral hostility from the raptor ruling classes. Corbyn’s reasonable proposal that there should be a maximum wage so as to allow the majority of struggling workers a bigger slice of the cake has been greeted with howls of rage by the fat cats. “This is wrong in principle!” pontificates Ryan Bourne, head of public policy at the Institute for Economic Affairs, adding callously: “There is no reason, functionally or morally, why a person should not enjoyanyamount of wealth.” (Daily Mail, August 25, see here).
In other words, let’s keep our tears for the rich—and to hell with the poor!
I am unable to follow my own advice, since it is so extreme, but in ideal circumstances this is what I would advise my ideological brothers and sisters to do in order to survive the psychic storms ahead:
Take no part in the political process. Do not vote. By voting you give legitimacy to your future oppressors, to the elite ruling classes who are intent on becoming richer at the expense of the poor and in making life a hell for the people they rule over. Regard democracy as an utter sham and have nothing to do with it. This is extreme advice. Feel free to reject it.
However “extreme” this rejection of democracy might appear to you—or rather the pseudo-democracy which enfolds us all in its totalitarian tentacles—I was gratified to read a recent comment on my website which is equally dismissive of our fraudulent American-style democracies in which most citizens find themselves disenfranchised:
“I’ve actually felt freer in dictatorships than so-called democracies. Spain under Franco was a wonderful place. Portugal under Salazar was the same. People had work, food was cheap, one could walk the streets any hour of the day or night. In fact I live in a military dictatorship at the moment (Thailand) and I feel freer than I would in Europe or the US.
‘Democracy’ as practised in the so-called democratic West is a sham.
The only freedom you have is the freedom to be swindled by your government and banks.” (FELIX August 28, 2015 at 5:00 pm)
Felix might also have added: the only freedom you have in America and its vassal states is the freedom to almostunlimited sexual perversion.This is one freedom widely promoted by the elite media, and it’s promoted in the interests of mass demoralization.
Avoid the mainstream media like a plague. Believe nothing you see on television or read in the newspapers. Stop watching Hollywood movies if you don’t want your mind to be invaded by black propaganda, false memes and subliminal advertising. Better still, don’t watch TV at all. And don’t buy the newspapers and magazines you see for sale in supermarkets or high street newsagents’.
If you do, assume that almost everything you read is a lie or distortion calculated to turn you into a “model citizen”, i.e., a submissive slave.
If you decide to hang on to your television, know this : even now you are being spied on through your smart TV. All the programs you watch are being carefully monitored so as to allow the big corporations (listed below) to “help” you with targeted advertising. It gets worse. According to a trusted correspondent of mine who was a gay associate of futurologist Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka, within 30 years from now your TV will be spying on you in your own living room. Nothing new here. This is what Orwell had already envisaged in his novelNineteen Eighty-Four. But what Clarke apparently predicted in private conversations in Sri Lanka was far worse.
“Hidden microphones and cameras in your TV set,” my correspondent revealed, “will allow Big Brother access to every intimate aspect of your life. All houses and apartments will have compulsory TV units built into the walls of every room, including the bathroom. Even when you turn the set off, its never-sleeping eye will be watching you and its ear will be ever on the alert for the slightest sound. This round-the-clock surveillance will of course be “for your own good” so that, in the event of a heart attack or sudden emergency, paramedics and police will be able to rush to your rescue at a moment’s notice. You won’t be able to sneeze without a helpful voice intoning, ‘Dog bless you!’— For needless to say, God will have been banned long ago.”
The idea of mass surveillance by the state is a subject I have already dealt with in detail here. This secret surveillance has taken a sinister twist recently, with major corporations now spying on their employees and others —even in the washroom!Only yesterday I was amazed to read an article in the Daily Mail with the headline: “ Guest’s horror as she spots a hidden camera while taking shower in a Travelodge room.” Here is an attractive young female who can’t take a shower without some sexual pervert employed by the hotel spying on her.
When evil tyrants run the world, it’s best to keep away from them. Expect to be maladjusted. A square peg in a round hole. A stranger in a strange land, watching the passing show with sad, wistful eyes. To be well-adjusted is to be sick. For in the wise words of Krishnamurti, “It is no measure of mental health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

Vladimir Putin confirms Russian military involvement in Syria’s civil war

Russia is providing “serious” training and logistical support to the Syrian army, Vladimir Putin has said, in the first public confirmation of the depth of Russia’s involvement in Syria’s civil war.
Commenting on reports that Russian combat troops have been deployed to Syria, the Russian president said discussion of direct military intervention is “so far premature,” but did not rule out that such a step could be taken in future.
“To say we’re ready to do this today – so far it’s premature to talk about this. But we are already giving Syria quite serious help with equipment and training soldiers, with our weapons,” the state-owned RIA Novosti news agency quoted Mr Putin as saying when asked about Russian intervention in Syria during an economic forum in Vladivostok.
“We really want to create some kind of an international coalition to fight terrorism and extremism,” Mr Putin said.
“To this end, we hold consultations with our American partners – I have personally spoken on the issue with US President Obama.”
Russia has repeatedly used its UN Security Council veto to support Bashar al-Assadthroughout the four and a half year-long war, which is believed to have claimed some 250,000 lives. Russia has also been a long-term supplier of arms to the Syrian government, something it now justifies by the need to fight Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
Speculation is growing that Russia has significantly expanded its involvement in recent months, including with deliveries of advanced weaponry, a raft of spare parts for existing machines, and the deployment of increasing numbers of military advisers and instructors.
Last week Syrian state television released images showing an advanced Russian-built armoured personnel carrier, the BTR-82a, in combat. Videos have also appeared in which troops engaged in combat appear to shout instructions to one another in Russian.
Last week the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth cited western diplomatic sources saying that Russia was on the verge of deploying “thousands” of troops to Syria to establish an airbase from which the Russian air force would fly combat sorties against Isis.
Russian analysts called the Yedioth report far-fetched, pointing to Russian wariness of repeating the American experience in Iraq and the current strain on the Russian military from a covert war in Ukraine.
Most government-connected analysts have previously insisted that Russia’s support for Mr Assad is “strictly political”, and have dismissed reports of military involvement as “madness”.
“It is a canard. A deployment of that size would require approval from the Federation Council [Russia’s upper house of parliament],” said Yevgenny Buzhinsky, a retired Russian general who now heads the PIR analytical centre in Moscow. “As far as I am aware any advisers there do not engage in combat.”
But Mr Putin’s comments chime with experts who say the Russian government would be willing to supply substantial logistical support and advice even if it shies away from large-scale intervention.
“Such things are kept very secret, but there is definitely an adviser and instructor mission there, possibly numbering in the hundreds,” said Pavel Felgenhaeur, an independent commentator on Russian military affairs.
“It definitely includes technical advisers and engineers to maintain sophisticated military equipment, and marines to protect them. There is no way Assad’s jets could still be flying after four years of war without Russian technical assistance,” he said.
Mr Felgenhauer said it was “quite conceivable” that members of the advisory mission occasionally found themselves in combat or had even suffered casualties.
A senior Syrian regime military official who defected in 2012 told the Telegraph that he had personally worked alongside Russian officers, but that in his experience they were there “as experts, not fighters”.
“Most of the operations room and many of the defence lines are planned by Russian experts, so there are extra technical personnel now. They are mainly in Damascus,” the defector said, citing former colleagues who are still serving with the Assad government.
The reports of increased support follow a recent diplomatic offensive in which Russia has attempted to persuade western and Arab governments, as well as members of the Syrian opposition, that Mr Assad should be part of a national unity government and an international alliance to fight Isil.
Mr Putin said on Friday that Mr Assad had agreed to such a deal, “right up to the point of holding early parliament elections and establishing contacts with the so-called healthy opposition and engaging them in governing”.
However, Western governments and Syrian rebel leaders have so far insisted that there is no place for Mr Assad in post-war Syria.
In a war riven with barbarity, much of it led by fighters from Isil, Mr Assad’s regime still remains the biggest killer of civilians.
Khaled Khoja, the chairman of Syria’s opposition National Coalition, said after a recent meeting with Russian officials in Moscow that there was no question of sharing power with Mr Assad.
Another option debated in foreign policy circles would involve Mr Assad stepping down to be replaced by a mutually acceptable successor.
Russia is said to oppose this view, believing that removal of Assad would lead to the complete collapse of Syria as a state.
The Pentagonsaid on Friday that it had seen reports of Russia deploying troops and aircraft in Syria, and was “monitoring the situation closely”.
As for the possibility of Russia joining the coalition against Isil, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said the US would “welcome the opportunities for others to join the fight”.
However, Mr Cook said “the Assad regime cannot be a partner against the terrorism that it has both curated and then failed to confront effectively”.

Refugees Should Seek Refuge In Synagogues
By Gilad AtzmononSeptember 2, 2015
Gilad Atzmon — gilad.co.uk Sept 2, 2015
Yesterday Germany turned on Britain over the migrant crisis. Germany expects to accept 800,000 asylum seekers by the end of the year. Britain is also preparing for the growing refugee disaster: It closed its gates. The German call makes some sense I must admit. After all, it was Tony Blair and his Labour Government that launched the criminal war that led to this global humanitarian crisis. But Blair wasn’t alone. In fact he was merely a Sabbos Goy.
When Blair took Britain into Iraq his chief fundraises were Lord cash point Levyof the Labour Friends Of Israel. Jewish Chronicle writers David Aaronovitchand Nick Cohenwere the prime advocates for the immoral interventionist wars in the British media and beyond. Since then, we have seen the Jewish lobby openly pushing for more and more wars (Syria, Iran, Libya etc.). In France it was the CRIFand Bernard Henri Levythat pushed for the intervention in Libya that has turned the Mediterranean Sea into a death trap.
I don’t know how many refugees Lord Levy, Bernard Henri Levy and David Aaronovitch can fit into their spare rooms. But I do believe that the Jewish community should immediately place itself at the forefront of any humanitarian effort for the refugees. First because Jews claim to know more than anyone else about suffering. But mainly because it was Jewish aggressive politics and Zionist global lobbying that brought this colossal refugee crisis about.

If they can't dominate militarily they will try to dominate by invasion thereby having enough people to vote them in politically.

The solution to what you call an invasion is simple. Europe and the US should stop destabilizing and bombing middle east countries. They should stop stealing the resources of african countries. Iraq,libya,syria,and afghanistan comes to mind. You must be deluded to think christians are not affected as well.

U guys are pathetic liars, pls tell the whole story of how palestine turn to become strangers in their acclaimed land

Before calling people you don't know liars, why not give us the true narrative of the events? :-

Lolz.....I am liking this person. I have always preferred Russia to america. I started hating america from the day they allow a man to marry a man. It is like turning your back against nature and spitting on the sense of right and wrong.

The US is indeed the greatest threat to humanity with her warmongering and hegemonistic tendencies. It has been at war with other countries, for most part of its existence. Think of Iraq,Ukraine, Libya, Afghanistan and presently Syria.To me the US is a curse on mankind.
Sadly, the american people like most in the world are too dumb and easily misled by the mainstream media.

Bill Clinton almost ended this problem as US President but Yasser Arafat was not ready for a solution. He kept shifting the terms till the Isreali Prime Minister(I have forgotten his name) who was negotiating the peace was assassinated by his own people for daring to negotiate the peace.

That was Yitzak Rabin in the early 90's. The cause of the failure of Camp David peace talks and before then Oslo, wasn't from Arrafat or the PLO. You need to understand the role hardline Zionists like Netanyanhu and Ariel Sharon played in killing that deal. And don't forget that Israel`s criminal behaviour, abuse and flagrant disregard of UN resolutions worsened the conflict

PedroJP:
These women equally harbour terrorists.

If someone comes to your house and takes over your property including your wife and everything you hold dearly, restricting you to your toilet,won't you fight back? Not minding the fact that he has the backing and support of very powerful neighbours.
Would it be fair if you are labelled a terrorist in a quest to take back what is rightfully yours?
Israel has done worse things than what I described up there.
My brother,there's a very thin line between what you call a terrorist and a freedom fighter. The definition in reality, is subjective.

Let us be objective here, and not be sentimental about what Israel is doing in Palestine. These women stood up to a bully and made a fool of him. It is high time people are made to know the crimes of the self styled chosen people and to expose their atrocities too.

Palestinian Women Take On Israeli Soldier

August 28, 2015 " Information Clearing House" - Mondoweiss-A radical scene unfolded Friday after Israeli forces intercepted the weekly protest in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, Palestine against the illegal confiscation of their land and spring. The courageous actions of the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh rescuing their captured child spread immediately on social media after the UK’sDaily Mail published a series of breathtaking photographstaken at the scene. The event was captured on video by Bilal Tamimiand Royal News TV.
As a masked and armed Israeli soldier chases down a hillside you can hear voices yelling, then the unmistakable sound of a screaming child. The boy appears in view as he turns to face the soldier, then rushes past the soldier and up the hill through a mass of boulders as the soldier finally catches up with the boy and captures him. Placing the boy in a chokehold the soldier forces the struggling child over a bolder as cameras close in on the scene and record what’s happening.
The boy has a cast on his left arm. Every move the soldier makes, briefly loosening his chokehold before tightening his grip again, I wince at the thought of the boy’s arm and throat. The soldier looks exhausted and somewhat bewildered as the camera pans in on his face (1:13). His bravery perhaps– did he throw a stone with his un-cast arm at Goliath?
The struggling continues over the wild screams of the boy. The soldier, ironically gasping for breath, yells out at the top of his lungs – calling for assistance from his comrade forces – unable to pull off this arrest of the boy on his own. He adjusts his rifle, pulls back the boy’s good arm and shoves the boy’s face towards the boulder, then stands and tries lifting the boy up from under the child’s armpits as the boy’s arms and cast fly into the air. The soldier struggles to contain the squirming writhing boy who’s wildly kicking his legs into the air. The soldier is not up for this mission. And that was before the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh descended on the soldier.
Determined lionesses intent on rescue, they plunge down on the soldier, pulling him off the child (2: 05). He thrusts them off and struggle ensues, he tackles the boy again as women and girls proceed yanking his limbs, beating his head, slapping him all over (while the soldier is yelling for help), mounting his back, putting a chokehold on his neck, ripping his mask and finally tearing it off his face, unmasking him completely (2:52). Other soldiers enters into the scene and rescue him from the Tamimi women of Nabi Saleh. The boy is fighting him off the whole time.
Notice the last scene of the video. The humiliated soldier draws a teargas canister, arms it, and throws it to the ground. This is an act of pure punishment and spite, reminiscent of the famous video of the UC Davis pepper-spray incident, which resulted in a wide-scale investigation. If there is ever a security reason for using teargas, this certainly is not such an occasion. Will the soldier face any consequences for this abuse of civilians’ rights?

Royal News TV(Arabic) reports the child’s mother and some of the village womens’ quick response “reflects the steadfastness of the Palestinian women, and heroism in defense of their land and homeland”.

Texas Town Fires Police Dept., Hires Private Citizens For Security — Guess What Happened to Crime?
August 27, 2015 10:18 am·
The community of Sharpstown, Texas decided that they didn’t need the police any longer. They made a controversial decision to fire the local police department and hire private citizens, granted no special rights that ordinary citizens do not have, to keep them safe.
That was back in 2012, and since then, Sharpstown residents say the private security company, SEAL Security Solutions, have done a much better job than the police used to. Crimes is down 61% in only 20 months.
James Alexander, the director of operations for SEAL Security Solutions says that, “Since we’ve been in there, an independent crime study that they’ve had done [indicates] we’ve reduced the crime by 61 percent,” according to Guns.com.
All of that and they don’t have any special rights that you or I don’t have. That means they can’t arrest for misdemeanor crimes… and why should people be arrested for them anyway? It also means that they are held accountable the same way as anyone else.
The SEAL security patrolmen don’t “receive the same protection, as we are in the private sector,” Alexander said. This, he explains, leads to constant accountability and vigilance of their employees making sure they don’t do something to get fired.
They don’t have special privileges, or lobbyist groups protecting them. If they break the law, if they murder someone, they will be treated like anyone else who committed the same crimes.
But so far, nothing like that has been a problem.
There’s the issue of savings too. The firm says they have saved taxpayers approximately $200,000 per year, even though they have more feet patrolling than back when the city employed cops.
“On a constable patrol contract, it’s either a 70/30 or an 80/20. Meaning they say they patrol your community 70 percent of the time, [while] 30 percent of the time they use for running calls out of your area or writing reports,” Alexander explained.
“The second thing that drastically reduces the crime is that we do directed patrols,” he continued.“Meaning we don’t just put an officer out there and say ‘here, go patrol.’ We look at recent crime stats, and we work off of those crime stats. So if we have hotspots in those areas say for that month, we focus and concentrate our efforts around those hotspots.”

It should be obvious to anyone capable of objective thought that there are forces in this world which are directed and focused on making the human race appear as ignorant and ridiculous as it is possible to make them out to be. We are not engaged in that. This is cause for celebration. Simply what you know about yourself, regardless of any lack of success …or possession of fortune and fame you may not have, is cause for celebration. Being on the right path, despite the costs and the continuing uncertainty of your course is reason for celebration. Do we have any idea of the incalculable worth of a heart centered on the love of one’s creator? We do not, or we would be swimming with joy at the possibility of performing it at every turn.
We need to burn away the mist of unknowing that shrouds our consciousness from the blinding light of the ineffable that both fills us and surrounds us on all sides. We cannot see it because of our state of separateness from our real self. Our false self walks in a false light and only illuminates those things that are meant to be seen in a false light. When the everlasting light of the love of the ineffable breaks upon our consciousness, ALL of the objects of the false world disappear from our sight, or are illuminated as what they really are. All of the dangers and deceptions of the false world are burned away and no longer have any power over us at all. Things can happen to us on our way but they are nothing more than instructional events meant to keep us on our sure course to the kingdom of the ineffable. We enter that kingdom when our consciousness rises to a sufficient level that we can see and experience it. Heaven is not in some far away location deep in the distance of the endlessly reaching sky above you. Heaven begins where your feet touch the ground. You walk in the kingdom of Heaven by acting as a citizen of that realm and by embracing the code of conduct that verifies your right to be there. You do it by believing you are doing it, regardless of being able to see or comprehend it. If you are determined in your intention to realize this, it will materialize around you. It will.
If we see everything that happens to us as an expression of the ineffable working on the evolution of our soul, it will be realized as exactly that. If you want to see everything as blind chance and coincidence you will see nothing and there will be no deeper meaning. It is difficult to persevere against the seemingly unending force of opposition. It can be very difficult but… it is not impossible and so long as the ineffable is walking that course with you, seen or unseen, it is a certainty. The blind chance and coincidence you will see nothing and there will be no deeper meaning. It is difficult to persevere against the seemingly unending force of opposition. It can be very difficult but… it is not impossible and so long as the ineffable is walking that course with you, seen or unseen, it is a certainty. The ineffable does not fail. We might fail but the ineffable does not and if we are aligned with the ineffable we will not fail either. Love is always victorious and the motive engine of the ineffable is love.

The Priceless Worth of a Love Centred Heart
By Les VisibleonAugust 26, 2015
Reflections in a Petri Dish — August 25, 2015
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
One of the more interesting features of existence, as it presents itself these days, is the level of pervasive insanity that abounds from sea to shining sea and since we are all surrounded by seas, even if we are many miles inland, that means it can be found just about everywhere and what that means is that it either passes for normal or those observing are themselves so crazy that they don’t even notice. Things l ike this are a common farebut you don’t need an endless litany of links from me to tell you what you already know about the state of the world.
On the surface one might gravitate toward some level of despair about the terrible state of things as the Satanic Cabal unleashes its chaos and confusion upon the world, in this last gasp effort to harvest every soul that is not anchored in the ineffable. The winds of discord are wailing down the pipeline of the continuum of end times that are not ending but simply the beginning of something else and what that something else is… none of us save the ineffable knows. This is why faith in the ineffable is so important because it aligns you with the greater plan of the almighty. It makes you one with the ONE.
It is not necessary for us to know the details or to make plans of our own because as we have all heard, “If you want to make God laugh, make plans. I have one plan and that is to serve the ineffable to the limits of my ability and that means to see everything as a special dealing of the ineffable with my soul. When you see the whole of your life and every event in it, no matter how small, as an interaction between you and the ineffable, you are exactly where you need to be. It is not ‘not knowing’ that creates problems for us, it is ‘knowing’, because all of our knowing is limited and that means that as long as we think we know we are walking blind. There is only one thing we can know and that is that there is an ineffable and that the ineffable loves us and to the degree that we surrender to this understanding, to that degree, we are able to receive the grace of the ineffable.
If everything falls apart around us, it is only another change in the ever changing infrastructure of appearances. What will never fall apart is the shining rock of the spirit within. There is no life. There are no appearances and no consciousness except that it is expressed in us by the ineffable. It is not a matter of good or evil. It is not a matter of any works performed by us because we can perform nothing except that the ineffable provides the power to do so. All that matters is the degree of our love for the ineffable and the level of sincerity and commitment contained within that love. It is love that defines us, just as it is the lack of love as well. I will return to two pieces of scripture that associate with this and which are absolutely and eternally true; “If God is for me, who can be against me?” AND… “greater is that which is within you than that which is in the world.” Ponder these thoughts and consider the meaning of them; given that they are real and true.
Think of your connection with the ineffable as a matter of electrical cabling. Is it a slender line that can be parted through stress or frayed by trial or circumstance? Is it something that can carry only so much current? Is it a thick and powerful cable that can carry a serious amount of power? This is something that we build by the exercise of faith. To the extent that we focus our attention upon the ineffable through every moment of our day, we build that cable. The slender lines are woven together and built into an unbreakable connection. One strand is not strong enough to endure the vicissitudes of testing and adversity but many strands woven together can possess an enormous strength. Just as one small stick is easily broken in our hands, many sticks in a bundle are not.
We build that shining city, that kingdom of the heart by a relentless application of devotion. It is built block by block, every time we tell the ineffable of our love for him/her/it. The ineffable takes the shape that it is given in the heart and mind of the one who loves the ineffable. The ineffable becomes all things to the one who loves the ineffable. There comes a time when there is nothing but the ineffable and what a shining and inexpressible splendor that is. No one who has ever lived has ever been capable of describing the wonders upon wonders that come along with the love of the almighty. As scripture has very clearly revealed to us; “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
A lot of us have had some significant problems in recent times. The amount of people who have contacted me about their own episodes is startling. It is like some kind of flu season. It is not hard to understand how these assaults on our being can throw us off center and make us doubt all the things we believe to be true at other times. This is when we need to remind ourselves of all the good things that are true about us that we might not be paying enough attention to, such as, all the people that we are not, like thisand all the things we don’t do, like this.
We are not rich and indifferent and contemptuous of those who are not rich and indifferent. We are not making war on primitive cultures in pursuit of their resources and geo-political advantage. We are not haunting the malls in pursuit of the latest fashion accessory, or planted in front of our TV’s and watching an endless redundancy of terminal dumbass. The television is the altar of worship for the majority of those caught up in the maelstrom of materialism. We are not a great many things and people that if we were, would most certainly be grounds for a terrible depression if we had the intelligence to feel it. Consider the meditations of your heart and how this defines what you are, regardless of how you appear to be in the eyes of the calculating cynics who measure everything according to its status in the world.

One of my favourite conversations was between Braun and Tyron, while he was in prison.
Braun: But what`ll you do?
Tyron: I suppose I`ll have to kill the mountain myself. Won't that make a great song?
Braun: I hope to hear them sing it one day

The Big List Of 33 Things That Are Going To Happen In September 2015
By wmw_adminonAugust 25, 2015
By Michael Snyder — The End of the American Dream Aug 19, 2015
Is September 2015 going to be a month that changes history? For months, there has been an unprecedented amount of buzz all over the Internet about what is going to happen in September. And without a doubt, we are going to witness a convergence of events during that month that is quite remarkable. What I have attempted to do in this article is to put together a list of things that we know will happen next month. Some of the lists that I have seen contain things that cannot be proven or that are simply inaccurate. And of course it is very likely that some things will happen in September that we cannot anticipate right now. I am just providing the information that I have at this time, and it is up to you and your family to prepare for what you believe will happen. The following is my big list of 33 things that are going to happen in September 2015…
September 1– This marks the beginning of FEMA’s annual “ National Preparedness Month”
September 7– Labor Day
September 11– The 14th anniversary (7+7) of 9/11
September 11– The last day of trading on Wall Street before the end of the Shemitah year
September 12– Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour opens in the United States. The first stop is in Washington D.C. and according to Holly Deyothe “opening theme is Desecration of The Bride and Arrival of Fallen Angels”
September 12 and September 13– Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a leading authority in Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, has indicated that the Messiah that the Jewish people are expecting could come at this time
Black Monday, August 24, 2015, the the Dow Jones was down by as much as 1,000 points or 5 percent.
September 13– The last day of the Shemitah year. During the last two Shemitah cycles, we witnessed record-breaking stock market crashes on the very last day of the Shemitah year (Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar). For example, if you go back to September 17th, 2001 (which was Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), we witnessed the greatest one day stock market crash in all of U.S. history up until that time. The Dow plunged 684 points, and it was a record that heldfor exactly seven yearsuntil the end of the next Shemitah cycle. On September 29th, 2008 (which was also Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), the Dow plummeted 777 points, which still today remains the greatest one day stock market crash of all time in the United States. Now we are in another Shemitah year. It began in the fall of 2014, and it ends on September 13th, 2015.
September 13– Partial solar eclipse
September 14– Rosh Hashanah
September 14– The first day of trading on Wall Street after the end of the Shemitah year
September 15– The 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on this date. It has been widely reported that France plans to introduce a resolution which will give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian stateshortly after the new session begins. Up until now, the U.S. has always been the one blocking such a resolution, but Barack Obama has already indicated that things may be different this time around. It would be extremely difficult to overstate the significance of this.
September 15– The Jade Helm military exercises are scheduled to end
September 17– If there is going to be a rate hike in September, this is probably whenthe Federal Reserve will do it
September 17– This is the deadlinefor Congress to vote on Obama’s deal with Iran
September 17– Constitution Day– most Americans do not even know that this holiday exists
September 18– The Days of Awe conference in Sandpoint, Idaho– Christians from all over the nation will be gathering to call out to God in prayer and to repent for the sins of our country
September 20 to September 26– The “ World Week For Peace in Palestine Israel” sponsored by the World Council of Churches
September 21– This is when the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) is projected to begin
September 21– The UN International Day Of Peace
September 22– In Islam, “ the Day of Arafat” falls on this day
September 23– The last day of the summer
September 23– Yom Kippur
September 23– The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, also known as “the Feast of the Sacrifice”, begins
September 23– Pope Francis arrives at the White House to meet with Barack Obama
September 23– The 266th Pope will be meeting with the president of the United States on the 266th day of the year. Some have suggested that “ something is being birthed” on that day since 266 days is the average length of the human gestation period.
September 24– The Pope addresses a joint session of the U.S. Congress
September 25– On May 14th, 2014 French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius famously proclaimed that we had only 500 days to avoid “climate chaos”. His time frame of 500 days ends on September 25th.
September 25– The Pope will hold mass in Madison Square Garden in New York City
September 25 to September 27– The United Nations launches a brand new “universal agenda” for humanity known as “ the 2030 Agenda”
September 25– The Pope appears at the UN to deliver an address to kick off the conference at which the 2030 Agenda will be unveiled
September 26 and 27– The Pope will be traveling to Philadelphia for the “ 2015 World Meeting of Families”
September 28– The first day of the Feast of Tabernacles
September 28– This is the date for the last of the four blood moonsthat fall on Biblical festival dates during 2014 and 2015. This blood moon will be a “supermoon” and it will be clearly visible from the city of Jerusalem.
Due to the ending of the Shemitah year and numerous other factors, there is rampant speculation that a stock market crash is going to happen in the United States during the month of September. Previously, I have expressed my view that a major global financial crisis is imminent, but my warning covers all of the remaining months of 2015. Since I cannot prove that a stock market crash will happen next month, I have left it off the list. But without a doubt, we are entering the danger zone.
There is also lots of speculation about unusual activity at the Large Hadron Collider during the month of September. In my research, I have not yet come across anything that confirms that. If you have solid information concerning this, please send it to me. But certainly, what they are doing with the Large Hadron Collider concerns me greatly. This is something that I covered in a previous article entitled “ Will The Large Hadron Collider Open Up A Portal To Another Dimension?”
